The Brown Hotel is a stunning historic property that beautifully showcases its age with elegant architecture and charming details. The building itself is a visual delight, steeped in character and history, making it a standout destination. We were excited to stay here as Expedia Gold members and requested an upgrade to a king bed room but unfortunately, we did not receive one, which was a bit disappointing given our status. However, the service at the bar was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff enhancing our experience. The valet service was also impressive, handling our car with care, and the staff efficiently brought our luggage to the room. The food was another highlight, offering delicious and well-prepared options that added to the overall enjoyment. Despite the upgrade oversight, the hotel’s beauty and service quality make it a memorable stay.

This is a historic hotel, so expect some “wear and tear.” First clue it was not going to be great was when we pulled up and two security guards were stationed at the door vs doorman. The room needs full redo, aside from bathroom which was obviously updated recently. Carpet old; bed was broken…everytime you moved even slightly, the springs creaked. Neither my husband nor I slept at all.

The view from the roof is amazing, especially at sunset. The staff was amazing and the food was great. Exploring the hotel was worth the trip itself.

Beautiful, very elegantly appointed hotel built in 1923, with very attentive, helpful staff. I enjoyed a comfortable room, a tasty cocktail in their pleasant lobby with live piano music adding to the ambiance, and delicious breakfasts (including a petite Hot Brown, a local specialty) in their lovely restaurant. One great perk during our stay was the use of the hotel shuttle van. Not only did they pick us up from the airport, but they also provided rides to and from nearby restaurants and museums. Though it wasn't required, we made sure to tip the drivers. I will gladly stay at this property again!

The Brown Hotel is simply the best hotel I've ever stayed in. You feel like you've transported back in time to a classier era. And the fact that it is so elegant and beautiful leaves you fully stunned that it is a rather affordable place to stay. This was my second stay at the Brown and surely not my last. The quality of the room, the food, the drinks, and the location are as good as you can get in Louisville.

I have never stayed anywhere this dirty. We were given multiple rooms and each one was worse than the last — snails crawling around, bugs on the mattresses, and a general feeling of neglect. They even gave us the wrong room at one point. The night staff, especially Jane, was the embodiment of the hotel itself: worn out, tired, and completely uninterested in helping. This was beyond disappointing.
